Award-winning architectural and interior design business

At Domicile Architectural & Interior Design, we provide a comprehensive architectural design package, from initial design ideas to completion of the project. We are a small practice, dealing mainly with traditional buildings where a sympathetic understanding of the building, its setting and above all the customer's needs are important. We see our role is to picture those aims on paper and make them happen.

We have a hands on approach to supervising work on site and work to build a relationship between customer and builder to make the work is carried out efficiently and in accordance with the customer’s aims. We will expect to use the standard form of JCT contract as the interface between the builder and the customer and we are experienced in administering contracts successfully through regular site attendance and liaison contact with the builder and the local council.

Over the years, we have won a number of local and national awards. We have a long-term experience working with Bromley Borough Council and in 1998, we won a design award from that council for work in Keston to convert a locally listed Victorian building in commercial use into luxury apartments. During 1998, we had carried out work on a number of projects in Bromley Lane and Bickley Park Road, dealing with new luxury dwellings and extensions. Below are the details about our awards.
